Since Pat Robertson is currently roasting in Hell if such a place exists, I'll act on his behalf and say that's [a misquote](https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/post/pat-robertson-we-have-been-dominated-by-homosexuals) not even within the bounds of paraphrasing:
> “We have given the ground to a small minority,” he said. “You figure, lesbians, one percent of the population; homosexuals, two percent of the population. That’s all. That’s statistically all. But they have dominated—dominated the media, they’ve dominated the cultural shift and they have infiltrated the major universities. It’s just unbelievable what’s being done. A tiny, tiny minority makes a huge difference. The majority—it’s time it wakes up.”

Oh no this tiny minority wants to stop being murdered and oppressed, they've infiltrated all of society with their desire to exist and live a normal life not hurting anyone, the majority better wake up and do something about this.

Thanks for posting the full quote. Still, it's not much better. Even if queer folk only made up 3% of the population, did Pat not consider that straight people would support them? Perhaps even a significant portion of the population?

Lucky for the media and cultural shift, in that case.

So, keeping with right-wing tradition, the quote that's taken out of context is worse with the full context.
